Chapter 1140 Enjoying Another Family's Drama

(MC POV)

"Mnn~ I envy those girls for being able to do with Master everyday…" Akari moaned, having reverted back to her fox form to lay on my shoulder contentedly.

"Hmm? What is this thing, Master?" Iris asked, pointing at the dead old man she had caused the death of about an hour ago.

"Did you forget? You're the one who did this to him."

Iris blinked and showed me a look that told me she most certainly did not remember doing such a thing.

I wasn't even that surprised so I went ahead and showed her the memory of it.

"Oh. Should I just End this thing's existence?"

Before I could answer, there was the sound of rustling leaves as the girl that fell out of the sky from earlier pushed her way out from the undergrowth.

I could see her clothes looked a little dishevelled despite her attempts at straightening them out and the clothes did not look like it was messed up just because of walking through some bushes.

Huh… She really hid there for the entire hour we were doing it…

She looked at the dead old man and shivered before turning back to me, "Who… Who are you? Are you one of the past Gods?"

Iris tilted her head at me, "And who's that, Master?"

I don't know either so I simply showed her the memory of her appearing in the sky.

"Ara, ara? This little trash actually tried to attack you, Master? Should I End her as well?"

I shook my head, "It's ok, she was understandably stressed since she was being chased by those guys."

"Ufufufu~ Master is benevolent as always~ But I'm not though~ So is this little girl planning on apologising to Master anytime soon?"

All of us turned to her and she got the message that Iris was being serious about it.

Her eyes widened before glaring at me, "I'm the proud daughter of the Long Divine Family! Do you expect me to bow my head down to a mere mortal?!"

"Ara, ara? Look at her Master. This little thing actually thinks Master is a mortal... Ufufufu~ What should I do, Master? Maybe I should just take away the source of her pride from her?"

I didn't need to ask to know that Iris was suggesting to remove her divinity like she had done with the old man earlier.

The girl must have also realised what she meant and she took a nervous step back which got Iris's attention.

"Ufufufu~ Where do you think you're going? You came here uninvited and you think you can leave just as easily?"

She waved her hand and the girl suddenly flew forward to stop in the air less than a foot away from us.

"Now… What do you think we should do with her, Master?" Iris asked as casually as she would be asking about the weather.

I pretended to think for a moment, "Hmm… We did come to this World without knowing anything about it so maybe having a guide around might be helpful. She does look like she's in trouble."

She scowled at me, "God or not, this is not appropriate! Free me this instant!"

"Ara, ara? Now she's even making demands of us, Master. Do you think this old thing would be a better guide instead?"

Iris waved her hand at the old man and his neck fixed itself before he sucked in a breath, having been brought back to life again by Iris.

That sight was enough to cause the girl to fall silent as she watched the sight of the old man being resurrected with wide eyes.

He got up from the ground and took a moment to get his bearings before letting out a shriek, "Why am I touching the ground?! Filthy! Filthy! Absolutely filthy!!"

He extended his arms to the side and I assume he was trying to levitate, only to fail spectacularly since Iris had already taken away his divinity so he was just a normal human right now.

"Wha… Why? What's happening to me?! Where did my divinity go?! How… How can this… What's happening?! Why… Why, why, why, why, why?!!"

Oh wow, he's already turning delirious. It's like watching someone going into withdrawal after taking away what they were addicted to.

When the old man turned around, the first person he noticed was actually the girl whose appearance was enough to send him into a raging fit.

"You!! Long Er!! You did this to me didn't you?! We all said from the start you were the cursed child and you should have been killed when you were born! Now look what you've done?!"

The girl furrowed her brows, "You're all just jealous that father got more divinity than you and I inherited it! You wanted to get my divinity to add to your own!"

I felt a nudge on my side and I looked to see Iris holding a bag of popcorn towards me with an innocent smile.

Wow… Iris… Really? And it's even sweetened too! You really learn quick~

"Ufufufu~ Thank you, Master~"

I went ahead to help myself to the popcorn while watching the old man advance on the girl menacingly, the girl still unable to move as she was still suspended in the air by Iris.

He growled, "Well isn't this perfect then?! It looks like you're stuck here so I can just take it from you to get my divinity back!"

"Stay away from me you damn creep!!"

"Just be a good girl and accept your fate!"

I was wondering how he was going to take the divinity from her until he started to pull down his pants which clearly showed me how he was planning to.

Really? That's the way you take someone else's divinity here? Do they have sex battles here or something? Nah, that can't be it, this guy definitely just wants to rape her.

But seriously, did the two of them completely forget about us? We're still here you know?

The girl struggled against the restraints while the old man continued advancing towards her, albeit at a really slow pace as though he hadn't used his legs to walk in a while.

He was just about to reach arm's length from her when Iris released her hold over the girl without warning, allowing her to move again.

The girl immediately conjured up a ball of fire and tossed it at the old man, burning a hole straight through his torso to explode on the ground behind him.

The old man was tossed forward a few feet before crashing into the ground. He tried to push himself up and gasped when he looked down, as though having a hard time believing that the hole was actually there.

"How… How dare you… Attack me?"

Those were his last words before he toppled over and fell back onto the ground, dead for the second time.

And as though this was some perfectly timed drama, those mooks the old man had sent away returned at that very moment to see the old man falling over with a burnt hole in his chest.

"Young Mistress Long has killed Elder Long! Tell the others!! Tell the others!!"

Really? No one even acknowledges us over here eating popcorn? Alright then.
